Heat: The Space Age of Pro Wrestling

PWA Fruition 2012 Show Review

Jeff — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:35:08 +0000

PWA Fruition February 18th, 2012 Century Casino Showroom This is the first PWA show that I’ve been to in five or six months, and holy balls is it crowded. The main event PWA Championship match between former WWE superstars Harry (David Hart) Smith and Chavo Guerrero Jr brought in a packed house of over 400 [...]

HEAT #189 – Picking On The Little Guy

Jeff — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:51:02 +0000

Today’s update is early because I’m going to PWA: Fruition tonight, so I’ll be too busy watching Harry (David Hart) Smith defend the PWA Heavyweight Title against Chavo Guerrero Jr to update later on. Look for the show review on that one in the next few days. It’s surprisingly difficult to find reference material for [...]

FORCE Pro Wrestling: C-Block vs. Strife (Full Match)

Jeff — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:17:24 +0000

From FORCE Pro Wrestling’s debut show in Morinville, Albert, August 20th, 2011. Strife’s scheduled tag team partner bailed out, leaving him to take on both members of C-Block on his own in a handicap match!

HEAT #188 – Face-Kicking Pretty Goodery

Jeff — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:00:09 +0000

And we have our first elimination! Rod Black is the first one out, putting Team 17E at a 4-3 disadvantage for the time being. Wait, the least-developed character is the first one eliminated!? It’s almost like there’s somebody writing this thing… The viewing angle in panel 3 is brought to you by WWF Royal Rumble [...]

A Show of FORCE

Jeff — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:06:58 +0000

I totally thought I posted this already, but I haven’t, so behold, the FORCE Pro Wrestling music video! It’s footage from the inaugural FORCE show in Morinville, Alberta, which took place at the brand new Cultural Community Centre on August 20th, 2011. For a full rundown of the show, check out my recap, and keep [...]

HEAT #187 – The Murder Number

Jeff — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:45:33 +0000

Yep, it’s time for HEAT #187, which is appropriate since Rod Black may have just been murdered by Invincinator’s vertebreaker. The vertebreaker was, if I’m remembering correctly, initially pitched by Invincinator’s creator, contest winner Jay, as a joke finisher that would be teased a lot but would never actually be hit because he was too [...]

Royal Rumble 2012 – The Drunkening

Jeff — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:53:24 +0000

Disclaimer: As I type this, I am still fairly drunk from the Royal Rumble drinking game. Relatedly, somebody commented on the most recent comic with something related to the Royal Rumble, and I deleted it by accident instead of approving it. So, uh, sorry about that. All right, I’m drunk and just watched the 2012 [...]

HEAT #186 – Punching Everyone But The Guy In The Ring

Jeff — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:23:45 +0000

Alternate title for this page: Invincinator flails about violently then injures himself. Well, Rod Black injures him with a lungblower, but that’s just semantics. The semantics of pain… I need to use that as a strip title later. For some reason around the time I was writing this strip I became possessed by an overpowering [...]

HEAT #185 – From A Thousand-ish Feet In The Air

Jeff — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:01:15 +0000

Invincinator continues to do cool stuff in the second update of the new weekly schedule, in this case a Daniel Bryan Danielson-style front missile dropkick. I’m not entirely sure why, but I find top rope moves infinitely less difficult to draw than the preceding panels where the guy is standing on the top rope about [...]

HEAT #184 – They Still Haven’t Learned He’s Short

Jeff — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 05:14:27 +0000

Aaaand we’re back! The first HEAT of 2012 resumes the Super Max Challenge Cup finals where we left off, with Rod Black having just been tagged in by Uno following an Invincinator body slam. The Yakuza kick is one of those wonderful but rare instances when the photo reference that I am convinced exists not [...]
